Table 3 The parameters and regimen of diode laser applied in included studies
From: Effects of low-level laser therapy on orthodontic miniscrew stability: a systematic review
Study ID | Type of laser | Wavelength | Output/energy (density) | Method of application | Frequency of laser treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Abdullah Ekizer et al. | OsseoPulseLED device (BioluxResearch Ltd, Vancouver,Canada) | 618 nm | 20 mW/cm2 | The LED irradiation was performed on the test side of maxilla, whereas the other side was chosen the control without irradiation but applied similar device | 20 min once a day during 21 days |
Osman A et al. | Diode laser (Biolase Technology, Inc.; San Clemente, Calif, USA) | 910 nm | 0.7 watts for 60 s | The irradiation was applied over the mini screw insertion area. On the contralateral side, the bio stimulation tip of the laser was directed toward the miniscrew while the laser device was switched off to act as a placebo | The irradiation was repeated throughout the duration of 14 days with an interval of 72 h between each application (four applications) |
AhmedMohamed Abohabib et al. | Biolase (Epic 10 Console) diode laser | 940 nm | 36 J/cm2 | The laser was placed over and perpendicular to the mini-implant on an active or working mode for the laser sides; whilst on the control sides, the laser was placed over the mini-implant without using the active mode | LLLT was applied on days (0, 7, 14 and 21) after mini-implant placement |
